P38 airframes, stripped of engines, ready to be bulldozed into pits.

Still there, apparently.

Looks like a Hawk tug.

PS, it's a Comet it's following, not a Cromwell.

Good set of photos there. The distance from the crowd affects many airshows.

Shuttleworth must be the one where you get the closest.

Taken with an Olympus E400, with a 40-150mm zoom.

Bit of cropping with Windows Picture Gallery's built-in tool.

Love the scheme on Miss Demeanor, simply the best paint job on any display aircraft, IMHO.

Many do gripe about it (Likewise Red Bull's paintjob on the Sea Vixen, which I also found to be striking) but there's enough planes flying in "proper" schemes, to let the artworks through too.

Looks better than your average paintballing, crawling around in a wet forest.

Mind you, I bet a 40mm paintball won't half sting!

I saw the posting earlier of the grant and matilda in Victoria but there is a field on the road to south Australia near a town named Pinnaroo with hulls just laying there, I have seen them but been unable to stop and check them out.

If the photos already on the internet, Flickr, Facebook & the like, just copy its url (it'll be http://something or other.jpg) and stick it between url /url (put [] around the url & /url) and it'll appear.

Otherwise, click on the Manage Attachments bit on the Additional Options box below the text box you type in.

If you've got photos of the hulls near Pinnaroo, the owner of "Surviving Panzers" http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Panzers.html

will be most interested (As will many here!)

If you look at the list for Commonwealth WW2 Combat Vehicles, there are many Grant's, Matilda's & Valentine's tanks & hulls (lots of Valentines converted to agricultural tractors) in various bits of Oz.

He's got quite a collection now, a Hetzer & a Panther too. The latter being the result of a very controversial swap with Saumur for a Challenger & a Saladin.

Quite a few bits still sitting out in the open. 3 PAK 43/1 no less.

Watched it, some interesting parts, but too much time spent with CGI reconstructions.

Does show how badly the villages were trashed and how limited the clearing up had been, by 1919.

I've got a book dating from the 1930s, of "The Western Front Then & Now", shows further progress in the restoration of the major building, like the Ypres' Cloth Hall.

Additional info.

The tank was first shown at W&P in 2007, some gob****e stole its muzzle brake.

The Cadmans also have a Bergpanther wreck, again ex-Saumur.

The Cadmans do own a Panther Aufs A

"Panther Ausf. A – Rex & Rod Cadman Collection (UK)The hull and turret were fabricated by the Hermann Goring Steel Works in Linz, Austria, but the final assembler is unknown due to the

lost of its original chassis number. The original German chassis number was obliterated when it was given a new AMX chassis

number, following its post-war refurbishment by the AMX factory. This tank most probably served with the 501-503 rd RCC, then it went to the Saumur museum and finally ended in the Cadman collection (Axis History forum)"

Take a modern aircraft, stick lots of bulges and stuff in it looks terrible.

A Rivet Joint, modern? It's about as ancient an airframe as the Nimrod!

Here's the replacement, such a modern design & airframe!

Thanks guys.

Would one be correct in assuming that this tank is now....

......this tank?

Having zero expertise in this arena, I'll leave it up to others to peruse these & see which ones are/aren't on the list currently.

The Germans have done a good, post-war, job of blaming all attrocities on the SS. The Heer were also involved.

Is the OP also unhappy at seeing re-enactors in Russian uniforms? Maybe those in US para uniforms, US uniforms from the Vietnam era?

Should be remove all "objectionable" items from our museums?

I've stuck it on Fleabay, should anyone be interested.

Hope it finds a suitable home behind a few inches of steel!

Neither, both Panzers have solid rollers, not spoked ones.

I hope that Kent's not had the rain that Lincolnshire's had last night!

I hope that the sub isn't needed!

There's a few interesting wrecks you might like to seek out, depending on where you are and how volatile the Tamil situation is!

Dates from 2008, did they all go to the scrapman?

If you have to ask, you can't afford it?

The T44 offered nothing over the T34/85, thus it was very short-lived.

The /122 variant wasn't proceeded with, as it could only carry 24 rounds of ammo for the main gun, far too little, as was the ROF of 2-3 rpm.

The 122mm gun was thus left to the heavy tanks to field.

We still order junk, now for political reasons, hence the British Army getting MAN trucks, not LDV or Oshkosh.

An impossible question to answer?

Maybe AFvs are the easiest ones to list.

A7V - 1

"Little Willie" - 1

Mks 1-V - 18 known for certain (plus maybe 2 others?)

Whippets - 5

Schneider - 1

Saint Chamond - 1

M1918 3 Ton - 2

MkVIII Liberty - 2 or 3

MkIX Troop Transport - 1

Skeleton Tank - 1

Renault FT17 - about 50 complete/large parts, but how many of these were manufactured prior to 11/11/18? Or is it sufficient to have been a design that started production prior to this date?

As other posters note, when do you start/stop considering a vehicle as a survivor when looking at restorations? (Shades of the Bentley "Old Number One" http://www.gomog.com/articles/no1judgement.html and the various WW2 aircraft "Restorations", where a manufacturer's plate seems to be sufficient at times.
